Sterling Power Part. v. Niagara Mohawk Power

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
May 13, 1997
239 A.D.2d 191 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

May 13, 1997

Supreme Court, New York County (Ira Gammerman, J.).


The motion court correctly determined that the transaction was not a sale of goods falling within the coverage of article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, and thus properly found inapplicable its provision for a right to demand assurances (UCC 2-609).

Nor is there any right to demand assurances recognized under the common law ( Schenectady Steel Co. v. Trimpoli Gen. Constr. Co., 43 A.D.2d 234, 236, affd on other grounds 34 N.Y.2d 939; Encogen Four Partners v. Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., 914 F. Supp. 57, question certified sub nom. Norcon Power Partners v. Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., 110 F.3d 6; 2 Farnsworth, Contracts § 8.23, at 487 [1990 ed]).

We have considered defendant's other contentions and find that they do not warrant a different result.

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Rosenberger, Wallach, Tom and Andrias, JJ.
